Unofficial python stubs for Adobe Substance 3D Painter

Unofficial python stubs for Adobe Substance 3D Painter

These stubs are designed to be used with a type checker like mypy to provide static type checking of python code, as well as to provide analysis and completion in IDEs like PyCharm and VSCode (with Pylance).

Installing

pip install types-substance_painter

The version of the package corresponds to the version of Substance Painter that it is generated from, plus a version suffix for the revision of the stubs.

Generating

stubgen_substance_painter.py requires preliminary steps before it can be run. Do these two tasks:

Extract stubs from running Substance Painter

The _substance_painter modules are accessible within Substance Painter. You'll need to run stubgen from inside the console. Mypy by default launches a subprocess when doing stubgen, which isn't what we want. So we patch that behavior with common\src\stubgenlib\moduleinspect.py. For that to work, you'll need to ensure that your Mypy install is pure-python.

# Ensure our mypy is the same version as substance, so we'll be able to import it.
cd cg-stubs/substance_painter && uv sync --python 3.11
# launch painter in the root directory
painter

Within painter:

import sys; sys.path.append("substance_painter/.venv/Lib/site-packages")
import stubgenlib.moduleinspect; stubgenlib.moduleinspect.patch()
import mypy.stubgen; mypy.stubgen.main(['-p', '_substance_painter', '-o', 'substance_painter/stubs'])

• sys.path.insert(0, ".venv/Lib/site-packages") to put our mypy install on path.
• moduleinspect.patch() patches mypy to run in-process rather than in-subprocess.
• mypy.stubgen.main(['-p', '_substance_painter', '-o', 'substance_painter/stubs']) tells mypy to import the _substance_painter package and output it to substance_painter/stubs.

Extract stubs from the Substance Painter folder

In the root of the repository, run:

uv run --directory substance_painter stubgen --no-import $SUBSTANCE_PAINTER_ROOT/resources/python/modules/substance_painter/ --search-path ./stubs -o ./stubs

• set $SUBSTANCE_PAINTER_ROOT to the substance painter install directory.
• --search-path to find the _substance_painter/ files
• -o to output to the stubs folder

Run nox target

nox -s 'generate(substance_painter)'

(A note--this is not idempotent. Your stub folders will be renamed from substance_painter to substance_painter-stubs, so running it again won't find the substance_painter folder.)
